This is reported to be Rod Stewart’s first solo recording, from late 1964, a cover of a Sonny Boy Williamson (the first one) song from 1937, and closer to Williamson’s than this early Yardbirds version. Whether this badly-damaged bit of film is at all related to the record, I don’t know.

Stewart would invert this premise seven years later: “It’s late September,” he said to Maggie, “and I really should get back to school.”
